8vo, pp. 54, [2] blank; a minor tear in F1 (no loss); uncut and unopened in the original drab boards, spine missing but stitching still sound. First and apparently only edition, and very rare: only four copies have so far been traced. Reuben Traveller (apparently this was his real name, and not a pseudonym), was born in Marylebone in 1788, and ended his life in Bytown, Ottawa, in 1861; he is buried in a local cemetery. He went to sea as a young man and is thought to have been a cabin boy or midshipman on Nelson's flagship Victory, or at least on a ship in the Trafalgar fleet. Married in 1807, he emigrated to Philadelphia in about 1820; but he could reasonably be considered a Canadian poet, as he lived in Ottawa from 1825 until his death more than thirty years later, becoming (amongst other things) both town crier and town clerk for Bytown. He clearly exaggerated his age, because his obituary in the Richmond Daily Dispatch (21 March 1861) says that he was in his eighty-first year, when in fact he was a few days short of 73; but it seems almost certain that he did accompany Mungo Park on his last voyage, although obviously not to the tragic and obscure end, tracing the course of the Niger river, in early 1806. However, the poet can only have been in his mid-teens at the time. The present poem recounts Traveller's experiences on the sloop Eugene, under the command of Captain Webb, as the ship sails down the Atlantic coast, across the Bay of Biscay and down to Gambia. There are colourful descriptions of dolphins, monkeys and native inhabitants. At one point the captain invites a chieftain on board: A chief of Gambia's banks our captain dines: Like polish'd ebony his person shines; His retinue were hundreds (like himself, Unexercis'd in knives or English delf); When fowls are serv'd, they quarter them with fist, And joints they dislocate with strength of wrist. (p. 41) Among the interesting circumstantial details are a long prose footnote on Park's character (pp. 39-40). Not in Jackson, Annals of English verse; Copac and WorldCat locate only the copies at the BL, Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities, and the Huntington.
